↑ 19%UTA expands London team with two new agents. LONDON (vip-booking) - United Talent Agency (UTA) has expanded its London music operation with the appointment of agents Becky Drouet and Anthony Brown, as part of a wider round of six executive hires and 11 internal promotions across its music division. Brown joins UTA after more than 13 years at CAA, where he worked on global touring strategies for international artists, with a particular focus on hip-hop and R&B. Drouet arrives after 18 years at LPO, where she booked major tours and live events for international artists. At UTA, she will work across touring as well as the agency's corporate and private events business. The appointments further strengthen UTA's UK and European music team following the promotion of James Wright to Co-Head of UK Music last month. Three of the agency's 11 newly promoted coordinators are also based in London: Dylan Bryant, Brooke Newton and Emily Rhodes. The wider coordinator group will support agents and executives across touring, marketing, brand partnerships, music crossover and A&R. "We're thrilled to welcome this exceptional group of agents and executives to UTA Music, and look forward to working together in support of our clients," said Sam Kirby Yoh and David Zedeck, Co-Heads of Global Music at UTA. The agency has also added Chris Anderson, Randy Freedman, Jordan Golenberg and Lauren Katzakian to its Los Angeles office.
Winston Duke signs with UTA for representation. July 29, 2026 New Representation Type: Agency Department: Film/TV - Theatrical * Winston Duke has signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for representation in all areas, leaving WME. * His UTA team includes agents Billy Lazarus, David Morris IV, Erik Telford, Hanley Baxter and Yasmine Pearl. * Duke keeps Shafran PR for publicity. * UTA will also help build out Duke's Papa Bois Productions banner, on top of his return as M'Baku in Avengers: Doomsday and Ryan Coogler's Black Panther 3. Winston Duke has signed with UTA for representation in all areas, exiting from from WME. He continues to be represented by Shafran PR. Duke, born in Tobago and raised in Brooklyn, broke out as M'Baku in Marvel's Black Panther, which grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide in 2018. He reprised the role in Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where M'Baku becomes King of Wakanda. Duke returns as M'Baku in December's Avengers: Doomsday, and it was confirmed at Comic-Con that he'll appear in Ryan Coogler's Black Panther 3, due in 2028. Following his breakout in Black Panther, Duke starred opposite Lupita Nyong'o in Jordan Peele's Us, which brought in close to $260 million globally in 2019. Duke's new UTA team (Billy Lazarus, David Morris IV, Erik Telford, Hanley Baxter, and Yasmine Pearl) will also partner with him on Papa Bois Productions, his label for documentary, TV and feature projects. Up next, Duke lends his voice to the animated film Slime, alongside Teyana Taylor, LaKeith Stanfield, Kid Cudi and Willow Smith. The signing fits a busy July for UTA. Earlier in the month, Anthony Ramos left CAA for UTA. Days later, Breaking Bad's Giancarlo Esposito parted ways with CAA to sign with UTA too. UTA just landed one of Marvel's most bankable supporting stars right as his highest-stakes stretch begins; two more Black Panther-universe films are on the way. That's a strong bet on a franchise that isn't slowing down. The signing also reads as part of a bigger pattern: UTA has now pulled three high-profile names (Duke, Ramos, and Esposito) away from rival agencies in a matter of weeks, all in July 2026 alone. UTA isn't just chasing acting credits here. By stepping in to help grow Papa Bois Productions, the agency is betting on Duke's future as a producer, not just an actor - a move that mirrors how agencies increasingly court talent as multi-hyphenate businesses rather than single-lane clients. Is UTA's July signing spree a sign of a broader shift in agency power, or a short-term hot streak? Could Duke's expanding Papa Bois Productions slate eventually rival his acting output in industry attention?
Kwame Onwuachi signs with CAA for representation. July 10, 2026 New Representation Type: Agency Department: Film/TV - Literacy, Brand Partnerships * James Beard Award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi has signed with CAA for literary and brand partnerships representation, moving over from WME. * Berni Barta and Jiah Shin lead his Film/TV literary representation; Jordan Solomon handles brand partnerships. * CAA has already secured partnerships with American Express/Resy's Culinary Collective, Centurion Lounges, and a Lexus Culinary Master role. * Onwuachi continues to be represented by Carma Connected for public relations. James Beard Award-winning chef, restaurateur, and author Kwame Onwuachi has signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for representation, moving over from William Morris Endeavor (WME), which he joined in September 2025. Berni Barta and Jiah Shin will lead his Film/TV literary representation, while Jordan Solomon handles brand partnerships. CAA has already put deals in motion, adding Onwuachi to American Express and Resy's Culinary Collective, featuring his recipes in Centurion Lounges worldwide, and naming him a Lexus Culinary Master. Onwuachi trained at the Culinary Institute of America and opened his first restaurants by age 30, including Afro-Caribbean spot Kith/Kin in Washington, D.C. This spring he expanded west with Maroon at Sahara Las Vegas, following the success of Tatiana in New York City, a New York Times top-100 restaurant every year since opening in 2022. His D.C. restaurant Dōgon landed No. 8 on Washingtonian's 100 Very Best Restaurants list in 2026, and Patty Palace by Chef Kwame now serves fans at Citi Field and Barclays Center. His next cookbook, "All Hours," arrives September 22, following 2022's "My America: Recipes from a Young Black Chef." His 2019 memoir, "Notes from a Young Black Chef," is being adapted into a film directed by Phillip Youmans. Onwuachi has hosted the James Beard Awards, created the 2025 Met Gala menu, and appears on "Top Chef," "Chopped," and "Somebody Feed Phil," alongside his role as executive producer for Food & Wine. He continues to be represented by Carma Connected for public relations. The signing adds Onwuachi to a busy year of CAA additions, following recent deals with drag star Trixie Mattel, "Lord of the Flies" breakout David McKenna, and reality personality Sam Thompson. This isn't a chef jumping ship after a bad fit; it's someone whose off-the-plate business (cookbooks, brand licensing, a film adaptation) has outgrown a single-lane setup. Splitting literary and brand partnerships into two CAA teams while keeping his legal and management reps untouched reads as a surgical add, not an overhaul. The fact that American Express, Resy, and Lexus deals are already active suggests CAA walked in with partnerships lined up, not just a signature. Does this signal CAA doubling down on culinary talent as a category to build out? Could this push more chef-driven brand licensing deals into the mainstream? Is Onwuachi's expanding restaurant footprint (D.C., NYC, Vegas) the real driver behind the need for a bigger brand infrastructure?
Kendall Ostrow joins CAA Creators. June 2, 2026 Reports To: Brent Weinstein Department: Creators * Kendall Ostrow has joined CAA Creators as an executive focused on business development and digital strategy for clients across film, TV, and sports. * Ostrow brings over 20 years of experience across The Ellen DeGeneres Show, ID PR, UTA, Candle Media, and most recently YouTube. * She reports to Brent Weinstein, who leads CAA's Creators division and joined the agency's senior leadership in 2025. * The hire signals CAA's push to deepen creator economy strategy as digital talent increasingly bridges into mainstream entertainment. Kendall Ostrow is bringing two decades of digital media expertise to Creative Artists Agency (CAA), joining its Creators division as an executive focused on business development and digital strategy. Ostrow's career reads like a roadmap of the digital media era. In 2007, she joined The Ellen DeGeneres Show to build its early social media presence, a pioneering move at the time. She then moved to ID PR in 2010, followed by a 2013 stint at UTA, where she helped launch the agency's digital data and insights practice. In 2022, she led business development at Candle Media before transitioning to YouTube in 2025. At CAA, Ostrow will work across the agency to connect creators with studios, streamers, brands, and broadcasters. She reports to Brent Weinstein, the senior executive who oversees the Creators division, which reps digital talent including iShowSpeed, Liza Koshy, and Rhett & Link. Kendall Ostrow isn't just another hire, she's a signal. CAA Creators is building out its executive bench with people who have lived inside the creator economy, not just adjacent to it. Ostrow's path from The Ellen DeGeneres Show's social team to YouTube's halls makes her one of the most seasoned digital strategists walking into any major agency right now. The timing is sharp too. The creator economy is no longer a niche lane, it's a primary revenue stream for entertainment, and CAA is clearly positioning itself as the agency that can straddle both worlds: legacy Hollywood and digital-native talent. Brent Weinstein's growing team is now stacked with credentialed operators, not just agents. For YouTube, losing Ostrow after just a year is worth noting. This is the kind of talent that platforms and studios compete over, and CAA just won that round. Will Ostrow's deep platform relationships, especially at YouTube, give CAA's creator clients a competitive edge in deal-making? Does this hire suggest CAA is preparing to launch dedicated digital strategy services beyond traditional representation?
Josh Gad signs with WME for representation. May 20, 2026 New Representation Type: Agency Department: Film/TV - Theatrical * Josh Gad has departed Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for Film/TV theatrical representation. * Gad continues with Range Media Partners for both management and brand partnerships, and with ImPrint PR for publicity. * His upcoming project, Spaceballs: The New One, which he co-wrote and produced alongside Mel Brooks, is set for Amazon MGM release on April 23, 2027. * Gad's Zootopia 2 voice role helped the Disney sequel cross $1 billion at the worldwide box office and earn a Best Animated Feature Oscar nomination. Josh Gad is making a major agency move. The actor, comedian, producer, and writer has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for Film/TV theatrical representation, departing his longtime home at Creative Artists Agency (CAA). Gad remains best known globally as the voice of Olaf in Disney's Frozen franchise. On Broadway, he originated the role of Elder Cunningham in the Tony Award-winning The Book of Mormon, earning nominations from the Tony Awards, Drama League, and Astaire Awards, while taking home the Outer Critics Circle Award. Most recently, Gad lent his voice to Zootopia 2, which crossed $1 billion worldwide and landed a Best Animated Feature Oscar nomination. Looking ahead, he's set to appear in Spaceballs: The New One for Amazon MGM, a sequel he co-wrote and produced alongside Mel Brooks, due April 23, 2027. He also co-created and stars in Apple TV+'s animated musical comedy Central Park alongside Leslie Odom Jr. and Daveed Diggs. The move comes as WME continues to expand its Film/TV roster with high-profile talent moves. The agency recently signed comedian Usama Siddiquee following a standout run on Funny AF, and added filmmaker Aaron Schneider. Gad continues to be represented by Range Media Partners for management and brand partnerships, and by ImPrint PR for publicity. This is a calculated, surgical move, not a full overhaul. Gad is keeping his entire support system at Range Media Partners and ImPrint PR intact, which tells you this was purely about upgrading agency muscle. Leaving CAA for WME with a billion-dollar franchise hit on your résumé and a major studio sequel co-written alongside Mel Brooks in the pipeline? That's serious leverage, and Gad is clearly using it. With Spaceballs: The New One on the horizon, does WME give Gad the platform to finally break through as a leading man rather than a beloved supporting presence? Could this signing signal that WME is building a stronger animated and comedy-focused Film/TV slate in 2026?
